More Melbury Gold for Lee Watts

Trusty Waters have much to offer – Upper Tamar and Melbury producing some stunners.
It’s been a relatively mild winter so far and this has ensured consistent action with the regions carp.

In contrast to many of the smaller commercial lakes anglers have the opportunity to choose their swims and fish without the competition for swims often experienced on popular heavily stocked commercials.
Ryan Willshire banked this 20lb14oz mirror from Upper Tamar in the last 24 hours. Great way to start 2020! Mainline Baits IB boilie over monster particle was the successful combination.
